So... Any ideas on how this might work out for a heavy-Affliction warlock?Looks nice to me; 23% damage boost to Shadow DoTs.

It seems like this can only be learned through discovery.

After some testing this glyph provides a flat 3% damage increase to the bonus Haunt provides (i.e. 23% more damage) . Therefore your Shadow based DoTs will do 2.5% more damage . A very respectable damage boost from a Glyph, making this a must-have for Affliction builds

If we consider that around 40-50% of a Warlock's damage will come from shadow-based DoTs, this glyph will contribute 1% - 1.25% increased damage

Is this glyph going to annoy other affli locks that doesn't have it? By this I mean is this going to be like Glyph of Horn of Winter by saying "more powerful spell already active" when you try to land it?

From Patch 5.2 PTR Notes:Glyph of Soul Shards has been removed, and its effects are now baseline for Affliction Warlocks.New Glyph: Glyph of Drain Life. This glyph increases the healing gained from Drain Life by 30%.
